Course Overview
The Open Source Business Communication course is a comprehensive, freely accessible program designed to equip learners with essential skills for professional environments. While it does not lead to a proprietary certification, it aligns with learning outcomes assessed through recognized pathways such as the Thomas Edison State University TECEP exam (MAN-373-TE) and the Saylor Academy proficiency examination. This course is ideal for aspiring administrative assistants, corporate communications coordinators, and business analysts who must convey ideas clearly and persuasively. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, effective communication skills are cited in over 89% of job postings for business and management roles, underscoring their universal demand across industries. The Open Source curriculum ensures learners gain foundational and advanced competencies applicable in diverse organizational settings.
Learners engage with core communication frameworks and practical tools including the semantic triangle model, H5P interactive content modules, OERu learning platforms, Pressbooks for content authoring, and standard office productivity suites for creating business documents. The hands-on lab component involves designing and delivering real-world deliverables such as business proposals, persuasive presentations, crisis communication plans, and professional resumes. Using freely available digital environments like H5P-enabled LMS platforms and downloadable PowerPoint-based interactive lectures, students build a portfolio of communications tailored to specific audiences. A key project requires learners to develop a complete business presentation addressing a negative performance review, integrating feedback strategies, nonverbal techniques, and intercultural sensitivity—mirroring actual corporate challenges.
This Open Source Business Communication training prepares candidates for the MAN-373-TE challenge exam administered by Thomas Edison State University, a respected option for academic credit by examination. Successful completion supports career advancement into roles with median salaries ranging from $55,000 for communications specialists to over $75,000 for managerial positions requiring strong interpersonal skills. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with 1-on-1 instructor support, Guaranteed-to-Run schedules, and alignment with official OERu and Saylor Academy courseware. Graduates emerge not only with demonstrable skills in writing, speaking, and team communication but also with a portfolio-ready set of materials that position them for immediate impact in today’s competitive business landscape.
